Confucianism

Confucianism is a way of life taught by Confucius in the 6th–5th century BC. It is sometimes viewed as a philosophy and sometimes as a religion. Confucianism is the best understood because it doesn't have any larger than life places or things. It originated in China but has spread to Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam. Most people who follow the teachings of Confucius follow Chinese traditional religion, which is a blending of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Confucianism has around 6 million followers. They do not even address a God to warship. The purpose of life is to fulfill one's role in society with honor and loyalty in their eyes. They do not address what happens to you in the afterlife either. They practice honesty, politeness, propriety, humaneness, perform correct role in society, and loyalty to family and nation. They study the Analects which tells them their morals in life to full fill.

My Life as Julius Caesar

I was born on 12 July 100 BC in Rome. I was the son of Gaius Caesar and Aurelia. I later married first to Cornelia,  then to Pompeia, and finally to Calpurnia. Later in life I was assassinated on 15 March 44 BC. I was tall, had little hair, strong and healthy. I did suffer from the occasional epileptic fit, though.I grew up in a period of war in Rome, that causes many Roman workers were unemployed as I was growing up. The Social Wars created turmoil all over Italy, Marius and Sulla were the great leaders of the time. I was not destine to be a leader, I was born to be in a lower end of the political ladder. From a young ago, I discovered that to have a successful empire, you had to to have money. When my father died, i desided to better myself and get a better life. I married into a wealthy family.
Then at 19 I was arrested and had to leave Rome. When I was gone I was captured by pirates, which lead to much of the ruthlessness that I showed as a ruler. When I returned, I got a job as chief preist which I later made my way up to a ruler. I was a military genius, if I do say so myself. I won numerous victories even when I was outnumbered. I conquered much of France and Germany as well as invading Britain.
I was one of the first Roman politicians to realize that the Roman Republic was on the verge of collapse. The nobles owned almost all of the land and slaves did all of the work. That was leaving the poorer Roman citizens jobless. I made several laws that redistributed land and jobs from the nobles. I then gave those to the poorer citizens, which helped the econemiy greatly.
I also developed the Julian calendar. This calendar was almost exactly the same as the one you use now, except that instead of starting from the founding of Rome like me, you start your calendar from the birth of Jesus. The names of the months still remain the same, which I am glad for because July is named after me.
